[ RadSafe ] Cameco

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Interesting pictures.  Thanks for sharing them with us, George.

I suspect that the placement of the canisters on the truck/trailer was
because of weight considerations, not criticality issues.  I am not sure
that UF6 could ever achieve a critical geometry, even if it is enriched
to a fairly high level.

Notice how the fissile material is transported, the two canisters are
far apart, compared to less enriched material, which is stacked close
together on the truck.


I took all these pictures.Since this trip my mobile lab also includes
neutron detection.

Hi:

That's where Cameco processes the yellowcake into purified UO3 at Blind 
River and converted to UF6 at Port Hope.
